Visible and Ultraviolet Spectra and Photochemistry of Molecular Ions in Solid Argon

Molecular Ions

Abstract

Optical spectroscopic studies of molecular ions in solid argon [1] provide information on electronic states and ion structure which are complementary with studies in rigid organic glasses [2], ultraviolet photoelectron spectra (PES) [3], and photodissociation spectra (PDS) [4]. Spectra in solid argon are generally sharper and provide more vibrational information than glass spectra, and the cryogenic matrix quenches internal energy thus producing sharper bands than PDS and allowing the stabilization of facile molecular ions. The solid argon host also moderates photodissociation and allows isomerization to be a competitive process.
